Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AudioCommunicating" class="cyc_term">AudioCommunicating</a> is a transmission of sound-borne information between two (or more) agents. Specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AudioCommunicating" class="cyc_term">AudioCommunicating</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SpokenCommunicating" class="cyc_term">SpokenCommunicating</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/MusicalCommunicating" class="cyc_term">MusicalCommunicating</a>. A collection of information transfer events; a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Communicating" class="cyc_term">Communicating</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/NonVerbalCommunicating" class="cyc_term">NonVerbalCommunicating</a> is a transmission of information that is not in the form of language. Thus spoken, written, and sign-language communications are excluded. Specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/NonVerbalCommunicating" class="cyc_term">NonVerbalCommunicating</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ShakingHands" class="cyc_term">ShakingHands</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Cuddling" class="cyc_term">Cuddling</a>. Note that <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/MakingAGesture" class="cyc_term">MakingAGesture</a> is not a subcollection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/NonVerbalCommunicating" class="cyc_term">NonVerbalCommunicating</a>, since instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/MakingAGesture" class="cyc_term">MakingAGesture</a> are merely information-encodings, upon which communication (even verbal communication, in the case sign-language) might or might not occur). non-verbal communication NonVerbalCommunicating CommunicationAct-Single A collection of information transfer events; a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Communicating" class="cyc_term">Communicating</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CommunicationAct_Single" class="cyc_term">CommunicationAct_Single</a> is a single-source transmission of information from one sender (see the predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/senderOfInfo" class="cyc_term">senderOfInfo</a>) to one or more recipients (see the predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/recipientOfInfo" class="cyc_term">recipientOfInfo</a>). Every instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CommunicationAct_Single" class="cyc_term">CommunicationAct_Single</a> has a transmission sub-event (which is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IBTGeneration" class="cyc_term">IBTGeneration</a>) and one or more reception sub-events (which are instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AccessingAnIBT" class="cyc_term">AccessingAnIBT</a>). An instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CommunicationAct_Single" class="cyc_term">CommunicationAct_Single</a> starts when its transmission sub-event starts and ends when its accessing sub-event(s) end. single communication act MusicalCommunicating The communication of a musical idea. musical communicating A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ObjectType" class="cyc_term">ObjectType</a> (q.v.) whose instances are all and only those collections that are temporally object-like. A collection <code>COL</code> is temporally object-like just in case it generally holds that any proper purely temporal parts (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/timeSlices" class="cyc_term">timeSlices</a>) of an instance of <code>COL</code> is not itself an instance of <code>COL</code>. More precisely, a collection <code>COL</code> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporalObjectType" class="cyc_term">TemporalObjectType</a> just in case it satisfies the following: For any distinct <code>OBJ1</code> and <code>OBJ2</code>, if <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/isa" class="cyc_term">isa</a> OBJ1 COL)</code> and <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/timeSlices" class="cyc_term">timeSlices</a> OBJ1 OBJ2)</code>, then not <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/isa" class="cyc_term">isa</a> OBJ2 COL)</code>. For example, none of the proper time-slices of a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CalendarYear" class="cyc_term">CalendarYear</a> is itself a calendar year. Likewise for <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TakingAStep" class="cyc_term">TakingAStep</a>. So <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CalendarYear" class="cyc_term">CalendarYear</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TakingAStep" class="cyc_term">TakingAStep</a> are both instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporalObjectType" class="cyc_term">TemporalObjectType</a>. Conversely, a proper time-slice of a given <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Date" class="cyc_term">Date</a> might itself be a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Date" class="cyc_term">Date</a> (e.g. an hour has minutes and seconds as time-slices); so <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Date" class="cyc_term">Date</a> is not a temporal-object-type. See <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporalStuffType" class="cyc_term">TemporalStuffType</a> for the disjoint notion of being temporally stuff-like.
